A COVID-19 community evaluation survey “Seek and Save” will be carried out in collaboration with the UWI to assess the situation in relation to community spread and identify cases earlier, noting that several people have presented to hospital with their illness well advanced or falsely assuming they had dengue fever.

Well over 300 people will be involved. Information will be transmitted in “real time” to the UWI for analysis including where “hot spots” may be located and mobile teams will respond to conduct tests.
